Default I used national transport.

http://www.nationaltransportllc.com/...tant-quote.php

I used national transport with good results.

You can get an online quote with the link above. Looked to be competitive. Good communications. Corvette arrived without incident.

Only thing, they say 14 business days for econ pickup, by the time you get your car, it can be a month (long time to wait). But they did what they said they would do and actually got the car here a few days early.
One thing I learned is that they subcontract out the move. Maybe they all do. In any event, it was not a problem. Another friend used them too with good results on a 59.

Good luck and hope this helps.

I highly recommend The Horseless Carriage for enclosed shipping.

I've had good luck with Thomas C. Sunday and Rapture Transport out of New Hampshire. I went through brokers and found they don't exactly tell you everything. Especially how long you'll have to wait. And if the pickup site is off the beaten path you'll wait even longer.

I used Thomas C. Sunday Autotransport last May for my 68 coupe, shipped from Pittsburgh Pa. to Minneapolis-St. Paul Mn. no problems and was very satisfied with the service.

I liked the fact that when they tell you they will pick up and deliver they come through. No waiting for some driver to come through town looking for one more car to fill his load. And hopefully they are heading your way!
